Field report nuPro A-700

The nuPros A-700 have been with me for almost six weeks now. Delivery and commissioning went smoothly. Then I switched them on and was quietly disappointed. The treble was far too harsh and over-present. So I lowered the treble by 2Db. Better!
I then left the speakers running non-stop for two full days just on the TV. I also set the treble back to normal. In any case, the speakers sounded very good on the TV.
The treble became much more pleasant, the Hires recording 'There's a Time' by Doug MacLeod, played with Roon via the Bluesound Node 2. Fantastic! As if they had just dropped by to play for me in my living room. Change of fingering, the plucking of the strings, the voice, pure goose bumps!
Then some classical music, the Quartetto di Cremona has recorded all of Beethoven's string quartets on eight CDs in fantastic quality, which are also available as hiresfiles from Audite. I selected the third movement of the String Quartet in A minor Op. 132 No. 15 from Part V and listened to it. Here too, with my eyes closed, I couldn't shake off the feeling of being in the same room as the quartet.
The instruments are reproduced in all respects as naturally, vividly, crystal clear and in the right dimensions and timbres as if you were listening to a live concert rather than a recording.
I could give many more examples here, but what the speakers deliver on the digital side is sensational!
But there is also the analog input of the speakers - does it meet my requirements? This is particularly important for me. Because I don't want to digitize my record collection (approx. 1700 LPs and counting). With records, I can celebrate listening to music and I want to keep it that way. I connected my Kuzma Dreher with Benz Glider L via the Lehmann Black Cube SE right from the start.
First records that I know inside out. The Grumiaux ? Trio recorded all of Mozart's string quintets, of which record 3 with the String Quintet No. 5 in D major KV 593 is on the turntable. From the very first bar, the cello on the front right gives me goose bumps! Brilliant!
The live atmosphere is also here, and yet something is missing, difficult to describe, but I had the feeling that I was sitting a little further away from the action and missed some of the clarity that I heard in the digital recordings. The localization sharpness was also not quite as good in comparison. But on the whole I was very satisfied. I then listened to it again and again for over two weeks, compared with digital, but I was disappointed.
There's still more to it! Could it be that the Lehmann didn't quite do the speakers justice?
So I bought the Goldnote PH10, plugged it in and played it in.
Then I played the String Quartet in A minor Op. 132 No. 15 again, but this time on the 2nd side of the LP from DG with the Lasalle Quartet.
WOW! Bingo! Yes, analog works! And how!
As if PH10 and A-700 belong together! Like one piece!
When I then set up the Lyra Delos pickup, my audiophile analog Elysion was perfect!
Tone colors, naturalness, clarity, live-like quality, bass foundation, stage representation, localization sharpness, simply everything and across all styles, simply incredible! Violins show body, violas too, but are not blown up into cellos, big orchestras sound like big orchestras.
Electropop by Yello, terrific! From the bass from the deepest cellar to the highest heights, everything is clear as a bell.
Jazz, blues, be it Norah Jones, Helge Lien, Kari Bremnes or the fantastic LP 'Monty Alexander solo' by Jeton. It's as if you've made yourself comfortable on the stool right next to Monty at the grand piano.
Or ?Nightbird? by Eva Cassidy. As if you were right in the middle of the live recording and Eva?s voice sings straight into your heart. Or John Lee Hooker?s ? it serve you right to suffer? in the 45rpm edition of Impulse! I have so much more to write!
No, I don?t miss my good old speakers, which served me very well for many years.
The fact that with the nuPro A-700 you don't just get 'loudspeakers' but also superb pre and power amplifiers makes the price even more incredible.
I listened to a lot of speakers, active and passive, beforehand. I couldn't find anything under 10K Euros that could hold a candle to the A-700.
To summarize, I can say that the A-700 speaker is a paragon of neutrality. What comes in goes out, without make-up and without filters. Bad in = bad out, brilliant in = brilliant out! This is independent of style. But this doesn't just mean the software but

Hello to the Nubert team,

I have been using the Nuline 32 for 5 years now - mainly for music but also partly for TV - and the sound is still good.
The Nuline 264 has now become the "acoustic extension" of the living/dining area. I've had the speakers for a good week now and can only say:
Everything is very convincing: service, shipping, packaging, workmanship, appearance and especially the balanced sound!

It was the right decision and we are really enjoying it.
Thank you and keep up the good work!

My greatest compliments to your branch in Aalen and explicitly to Mr. Schatz. The advice was great. I had come here with the idea of buying a 5.1 system, but it turned out to be a top stereo system. Ultimately for the same salary, but now with far better components. Mr. Schatz instinctively knew how to advise me and give me the right things. The Cambridge CXA80 in combination with the NuLine 334 are a real delight in my living room. I wonder how I was able to listen to music at all before, because it's definitely on a different level now. Whether I'm listening to "La Traviata" (I think I'm sitting in a concert hall!!!! Wonderful), or my son turns on his "Gangsta Rap" (the bass goes through my stomach!!!)..... I am equipped for everything!
I have never received such good advice and will continue to turn to you with confidence.
Thank you very much!

At some point, all of us hi-fi fans have reached the point where we have the time and money to buy a system "for life".

At my young age of 26, as is so often the case with young people, I first bought small, cheap 2.1 speakers from one of the big electronics stores. Then later perhaps an "expensive" Logitech in the double-digit range. Then, when you think you want to go upmarket, many probably went to Teufel. In fact, my savings were ready to go back to Teufel.

Until I came across Nubert in some forums - a manufacturer I had never heard of. Direct sales and the much-mentioned "honest" and "neutral" rang all my bells. A short time later I had various speakers from different Nubert series at home (apologies again to the logistics team for all the returns!). The crowning glory was to be the NuVero 60, which integrated perfectly into my room both acoustically and visually as a 4.0 system. With two AW-600 subwoofers, they are also perfectly rounded off at the bottom and offer me every detail on a platter (4.2). Movies, music and even gaming are now a new, almost eerily immersive experience. And there's never a moment when you feel like you've made a compromise. I think a lot of technical effort is required to justify an upgrade from this system to a "better" system. And I doubt that this could happen at a competitive price.

All in all, a huge compliment to the entire Nubert team. You have a new fan.

P.S. I haven't yet been able to turn the level up so high that the internal fuses blow without destroying my ears 🙂 .

Hello to all infected and interested parties!

In April, I went to the Duisburg show and hearing studio with my brother. It's a very important location for us, as it's just over 1 hour away.

The reason was to compare the nuLine 284, which my brother had already selected in advance, with various other floorstanding loudspeakers.

When it comes to HIFI and the like, I'm very happy to help and advise him (I've been doing this for a good 35 years). It's a lot of fun for me, it's as if
putting together a new system myself.

I myself have owned a nuBox set since 2011, which I operate with tuning measures such as ATM module, acoustic optimization of the listening room and the like and I wouldn't want to do without it anymore.

During the test, the nuLine 284 clearly proved to be very convincing for us. Even in direct comparison with the nuVero 110, which also impressed with its
sound, the high level at which the nuLine 284 performs with its very own
nuLine 284 plays with its very own charm. So the choice was clear for my brother.
choice was made.

I was so happy for my brother that at first I didn't even realize what was going on in my head.

It wasn't until two days later that I realized I was constantly thinking about the nuVero 110. The initial realization "GREAT SPEAKER" turned into a "WANT TO HAVE", which then ended in an unbearable "HAVE TO HAVE".

I wasn't looking for anything new at all, that's never happened to me before. I thought back and forth for a long time, but the little man in my ear won out in the end.

Yes, and now here they are, "DIE WAHRHAFTIGEN", not only delighting me with their discreetly proportioned aura, but also spoiling me with their incredibly confident performance. A dream!!!

Many thanks and a big compliment to Mr. Nubert and his team for the excellent service in all respects. Please keep up the good work.

I just spontaneously ordered a pair of the high-end line for testing and was immediately amazed at the sound that can be heard from such small speakers, the bass struck me first and then over time the crystal clear sound.
I'm talking about the nuvero 30, of course.
Close to the wall, powerful bass, in stereo as I like it.
You are literally "blasted" by the speakers (wow effect).
Well, if you want beautiful pieces of furniture, I think Nubert is the right choice.
I ended up with the 110s.
To say something about the sound is actually always individual and difficult, I personally find the Nuveros have an EXTREMELY controlled crisp but soft (you have to like it) bass with "contour", by which I mean that spatial information is also reproduced in the lowest frequencies. That's my experience.
I now confidently leave out a subwoofer and don't miss anything, even in home theater.

and the customer service at Nubert, it's just fun.
There are also enthusiastic hi-fi enthusiasts on the phone who can give you very professional advice.

MfG

Hello Nubert!
I have a pair of Nubert nuLine WS-14 and the subwoofer Nubert nuBox AW-443
in my room.
Wow, that's how music can sound. At first I was overwhelmed by the brilliance and pressure, but after some fine-tuning I now have such a good sound in my room. Thank you!
Absolutely great value for money!
Thanks also for the friendly telephone advice.

The fact that it took 12 years before I bought another Nubert product can be seen as a full compliment for the company's sustained quality, excellent development work and customer-oriented consulting expertise.
I had to bury the Yamaha AX 596 from my long-serving playing partners, the NuWave 35s are already being circled by the children in vulture flight.
With my new acquisitions, the NuVero 60 and Yamaha A S1100, I have reached the Champions League of music listening without a hitch.
It should be clear that the room is very important for the sound experience.
In my very awkwardly angled and quite reverberant 20 square meter listening room, the installation of effective absorbers would be tantamount to a complete disfigurement.
With the NuVero 60, thanks to the very practically tuned sound controls, these acoustic difficulties can be circumvented in a highly satisfactory manner without any equalizer fuss.
For me, the most striking features of the NuVero 60 are the exceptional transparency and pleasantly natural presentation of the sound spectrum.
The listening impression scratches a little at the ideal case of not perceiving any loudspeaker at all.
During the recordings of our Alpine choir, I was amazed at how clear and uncolored our men sounded, and I regularly listen to them in real life.
As an active rock musician, I also like brute volumes.
For me, 'Train of Thought' by Dream Theater is a sound reference in the metal genre that demands a lot from playback devices in terms of impulse response (drums!), spatial representation and bass work.
This type of music is reproduced by the Nubert/Yamaha combination with an enormously relaxed matter-of-factness, even the most powerful levels don't upset it.
If anyone is (wisely) considering trying out the NuVero 60, I would advise them to do so with a suitable amplifier.
The speakers are hungry for plenty of power and a top signal.
The next entry will probably be written by my grandchildren.

Wow! Very interesting news from Nubert! The newly announced NuPro X series seems to be the logical successor to the previous NuPro A series. The NuControl 2 scales up technically to match. For me as an A-500 owner, the X-6000 (initially on paper) would be the next logical choice because, in addition to other contemporary innovations, it also closes a gap between the 18 and 12 diaphragms on the chassis side. I am looking forward to a listening comparison in Duisburg!

Hello dear Nubert family,

On April 30, 2018, I was able to enjoy an insight into the Nubert world with my daughter as the winner of the competition.

We were guided through the Goethestaße. Mr. Nubert showed us his 'hallowed halls' and explained his work to us with indescribable passion. The enthusiasm that Mr. Nubert displays is indescribable and draws every single employee along with him.

Over lunch with Mr. Spiegler, we discussed the highs and lows of the company and what the future might hold.

He accompanied us through the very successful new building in Nubertstrasse with new offices, warehouse, measuring room and all other departments. There we had the opportunity to listen to the nuPyramid. Under expert guidance, we were amazed at what is technically feasible.

The very interesting day we spent with the Nubert family ended in the hotel reserved for us.

An all-round successful short vacation. I can only say keep up the good work and wish you many more innovative ideas.

Best regards

V. Langer
